Abstract

The development of ethical and moral values is one of the elements in strengthening the Higher Education Development Plan (2015-2025). Yet there are various challenges and solutions in implementing the application of these ethical and moral values. The objective of this literature review is to examine the challenges and solutions in developing ethical and moral values among Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) undergraduate students. This literature review analyzed 50 references obtained from various sources based on predefined keywords. The references were then analyzed using Nvivo software to code according to several key points. Based on the literature review, there are many challenges in developing ethical and moral values for both lecturers and students including the teaching and learning process of ethical and moral values, no guidelines to assess the ethical and moral aspects of students, and lack of exposure to soft skills. . However, there are several forms of solutions in developing students’ ethical and moral values. These include improving the pedagogical skills of the application of ethical and moral values, developing instruments of ethical and moral values of TVET students, and empowering TVET students through the application of soft skills. It is hoped that this literature review can provide useful input and guidelines to organizations involved such as university administrators, industry, lecturers and students in realizing the development of ethical and moral values both in the university and in the field of employment later.
